This seems more than a tad unfair. Yes, it is certainly fair to observe that there have been voluminous debates. But it will take a whole lot of "trolling around" in the archives to figure out the shape of the *conclusions* of those debates. Seeming relevant conclusions: - Yes, there probably ought to be some sort of structured bug tracker. - HOWEVER, there are many who prefer to use email for their work, as opposed to being forced into some sort of "webby thing." - That being said, experimentation is taking place for the "commitfests" with using a wiki to track statuses of patches and discussions. - It is hoped that out of this experimentation, patterns surrounding what is *truly* needful to structure will emerge. There is reason to be hopeful about this, as the wiki-based process has been showing some useful structures to impose already. -- select 'cbbrowne' || '@' || 'cbbrowne.com'; http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/spreadsheets.html "I find it hard to believe a professional programmer could support the concept of Open Source." -- David J.
